I know this isn't much help but just thought I'd mention that I'm using rsync from Windows->Linux on a number of boxes with no problems. Some of them have very large file sets to transfer. It works. The problems with rsync, I think, were actually ssh problems and appear to have been long fixed. What exact command are you using to issue rsync? What's the O/S of the host and what version of rsync is it running? I've seen compatibility problems with different versions of rsync.
